Time
for more reviewz, as I’m in tha middle of a change of life, here, with my
accident and err-thang… Thanx to Way 3000, I am now hearing of Luv, whose full stage name iz Duke Luv.
This his CD from last year, In The Trap, released on Str8 Drop
Entertainment! Duke’s also tha founder of Str8 Drop Entertainment, as well… Start Time: 6:20 PM | End Time: 7:04 PM
Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0
– 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!
I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long
as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and
then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a
song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6
rating, I pretty much really love it,
as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I
hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type
before “ >>> “ iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything
after I type “ >>> “ iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening
to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your
vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

“In The Trap”
Startin’
off a CD with one of my favorite co-workers’ birthdayz on tha length! Can’t
imagine how to first-hear you wit 3:07 on tha length! >>> Sounds dope
wit this beat! “Kane on tha track?” Did I hear right? Sounds like a dope hook;
definitely official, here! Luvin’ tha screwed voice ta go wit your regular
voice! Likin’ tha “All Hustle, No Luck” reference (Lantana), too… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and you official wit it, here; good shit… I like your grind, here;
definitely a great startin’ song and first-time hearin’ you… And, tha 2nd
verse’s pretty nice, too; good shit! My
Rating: 4.4
02.
“Apply Pressure” feat. Dougie Jay & Tim Teezy
>>>
I’ono if I’m feelin’ this; not diggin’ tha voice on tha hook… Tha beat ain’t
too bad, here; at least it’s a normal, Baton
Rouge sound… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it
ain’t bad, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from this unknown rapper and
he sounds focused; good shit… And, we have a long beat outro, here, over a
minute long… Finally, we get a producer ID: Big Wayne!! My Rating: 3.4
03.
“No Giving Up” feat. Money Bagz & Dougie Jay
>>>
Sounds like a hot beat, here; definitely nice! Hearin’ tha hook and tha
singing’s betta, here; definitely feelin’ this Baton Rouge vibe! Hearin’ tha 1st
verse from you and you holdin’ shit down! Gotta “not [give] a fuck,” ya dig?
Hearin’ Mr. $$$ on tha 2nd verse, here, consistently spittin’ dat
quality, Baton Rouge
music, here! Facts to tha fullest at all
times! Neva failin’!! I like how tha beat
slammed at tha end, almost like a double sound! My Rating: 4.3
04.
“Blessin’” feat. Scotty Cain & Tim Teezy
>>>
Guss made this beat! Dope beat; nice
hook, here… As far as tha 1st verse goes, listen to this:
consistency at its finest! Feelin’ tha fast rhymes! If these rhymes were
slower, I’d prolly not like ‘em… I’d prolly pick out some mainstream lyrics but
it’s rapped fast to where there’s a lot to absorb! Tha 2nd verse
sounds gay wit this voice effect; no need for feedback! Fuck these lyrics, too!
Keepin’ it movin’ wit you on tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ nice wit
your buildin’ status, here… My Rating: 3.5
05.
“How Dat Go” feat. ATC Cake & Harley Ken
Looks
anticipatin’, here! >>> Sounded like I heard “Joe On The Track?”
Either way, definitely dope Baton
Rouge shit, here! Definitely feelin’ tha hook; all
hyped-up, here! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice; great,
consistent shit, here! Gotta luv when err-body be keepin’ it gangsta, ya dig?
Dope debut fa ATC! Here you are on tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty
nice; props fa keepin’ it consistent! Time fa tha Harley!! Hearin’ Harley Ken
on tha 3rd verse and he soundin’ dope, here; good shit! An example
of someone who filters tha bitches
out! My Rating: 4.5
06.
“Need Love” feat. Dougie Jay
I’ont
think this gon be good enough fa me… >>> A lil’ slower and it ain’t
just a singin’ hook, but a singin’ 1st verse! I’ll just let it pass
on by and see what else iz good… A decent hook; let’s see what’s good wit you
on tha 2nd verse, here… Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse and
it’s aight…; nothin’ really fa me ta say… And, tha singin’ continues, here…;
I’m bored… My Rating: 2.3
½time: Was pretty nice till tha
“Need Love” track hurt tha CD rating… Either way, it may only be a 3.7-rated
CD, at tha moment, but I’m definitely feelin’ tha original production and tha
lineups you have on tha tracks! Definitely an excellent 1st time
hearin’ you; good shit!
07.
“Str8 Drop Everything” feat. Tim Teezy
Damn,
y’all forgot tha “Y” in “Everything” on tha back cover… >>> Ooh @ this
beat intro!! Definitely 100% pure with La’Keith on tha track!! Tha hook’s
pretty dope; definitely feelin’ tha screwed voice hook, again! Hearin’ you on
tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice; good shit… Keepin’ it movin’ wit
TT on tha 2nd verse, here, doin’ his thang… Prolly tha best beat on
here but, surprisingly, I’m feelin’ a few otha songs betta… My Rating: 4.4
08.
“Win”
A
solo track, here… >>> Ooh, we got Haney on tha track! Anotha nice
beat, here, wit you winnin’ on this
hook; dope! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and you keepin’ your grind
movin’…; nice… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, and it’s
not bad; you keepin’ it movin’… My
Rating: 4.2
09.
“Cashout” feat. Tyrico
>>>
Only 2:14 on tha length and a dope beat start, here! Definitely feelin’ tha
energy, here, wit this Tyrico dude on tha hook… Tha 1st verse’s
pretty nice, here; definitely dope from Tyrico! And, you on tha 2nd
verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear; good shit! My Rating: 4.2
10.
“Let Me Through” feat. Lady B
>>> Sounds like a nice start wit Big Wayne doin’ this track, here; definitely dope! Hearin’ tha hook and tha both of y’all doin’ a nice job, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you and you just holdin’ these undaground streetz down! What else? It’s all about tha undaground!! And, we got Lady B on tha 2nd verse, here, helpin’ you out…; good collab… My Rating: 4.1

“Take A Ride” feat. Tim Teezy
>>> Sounds like a smooth, dope beat, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s definitely nice! This makes me “wanna take a ride witchu,” ya kno what I’m sayin’? Like, a great Baton Rouge tour or somethin’, kinda like what Way 3000 gave me, ya dig?

“Put It In They Life” feat. Sweet Jones
>>>
Time fa more Big Wayne heat, here, ya dig? Definitely dope beat, here! Gotta
love tha sounds! Tha hook’s pretty nice, here; gotta keep it movin’! Hearin’
tha 1st verse and you got shit on lock, here; definitely dope! Now,
we got Sweet Jones on tha 2nd verse, here… I’ono if he should name
himself “Sweet Jones” ‘cause that was Pimp C’s nickname… I have to say, a
younger, slower version of Level, here? That’s what it sounds like… It’s like
if Level spit mainstream bullshit, in a way… Either way, gotta luv tha last
line: “225 all ova my stomach, bitch!” My
Rating: 4.3
13.
“Work” feat. Mista Cain & Tim Teezy
>>>
Couldn’t detect tha producer, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s too simple… Ugh!
Actually, it gets me jealous ‘cause technically, at my job, I’m like tha
Boosie/Gates and “all I do iz work!” Still, I don’t get treated right, tho… But
yeah, fuck tha hook, lol! Hearin’ Mista on tha 1st verse and he has,
almost like a near-Kevin-Gates-soundin’ voice, as far as how deep it’s goin’,
on this verse… Still, nice; I can fuck wit it betta than tha hook… Hearin’ tha
2nd verse and I almost thought it was Young Buck fa a second, lol…
Lots of references I’m makin’, here… Still, not bad wit this verse… And, endin’
it witchu on tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear… “28 x 5 +
9, 9x,” huh? Well, that’s 140 + 81 = 221? That’s what I got… Almost thought it
was gon be 225 or somethin’… Either way, definitely a nice verse! Even tho tha
hook a guilty pleasure, I’ll give it a betta rating than I thought I’d give it…
My Rating: 4.3
Overall: I thought this was great,
ya dig? I believe this iz your 2nd CD; I don’t have your 1st
one, Str8 Drop, tho… I’m not sure
where I can cop that at… Either way, definitely nice wit all these producers
and tha features you have on your CD! Good shit! Keep up tha great work! I see
you ain’t log into yo Twitter since last year? Gotta keep yourself alive! Don’t
give up! Shout out to err-body on this project!
